ORDER OUT OF CONFUSION 1 Corinthians 14:1-12 http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1+Corinthians+14:1-12Dear Father, God of intelligibility and peace,Thank you for reversing the curse of Babel when you poured outyour Holy Spirit on believers in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost.Even in the confusion of many tongues you proclaimed your GoodNews to every tribe and nation under heaven, with every personhearing it in his or her own language.Thank you too for the gift of prophecy in the common language,believers speaking to one another for their mutual encouragementand consolation, a gift greater than tongues (unless the unknownlanguage is interpreted), because understandable speech builds upyour church.Help us to manifest your Spirit in all things. Help us to strivezealously for whatever builds up the church.In submission to you and in Jesus' name, I ask. Amen.
